Build on Ascnt Pools

Ascnt Pools are Uniswap v4 pools — anything that can LP into v4 can LP into them.

If you build LP strategies, vaults, or any product that provides liquidity to AMMs, Ascnt Pools are a drop-in replacement for the pool underneath you — no strings attached. They're standard, permissionless Uniswap v4 pools with the Ascnt hook attached, so anything that can LP into a v4 pool can LP into an Ascnt Pool.

We're building our own Strategies & Vaults on these same pools, and at the same time we strongly believe in open, permissionless integration. The pools are a public venue: if you want to build your own strategies or vaults on top of them, you're very welcome here.

What your positions inherit

  • Dynamic pricing — each swap your liquidity faces is priced for the risk it imposes instead of a flat fee, so swaps that unbalance the pool pay a higher fee and benign flow is priced competitively.
  • MEV capture — the pool is designed to keep arbitrage value in the pool and block JIT extraction (arbitrage auction plus JIT block-lock), so that value accrues as fees to the positions in the pool rather than to bots.
  • In-pool rebalancing — the pricing skew pays organic flow to rebalance the pool, which is designed to reduce the imbalance that drives divergence loss.

These are properties of the pool — you don't integrate a new fee engine or trust an oracle to get them.

Plug and play with the v4 SDK

An Ascnt Pool is a regular Uniswap v4 pool, so you build and manage your strategy with the same v4 SDK you already use. Switching is pointing your strategy at the Ascnt pool: same code, with dynamic pricing and the JIT lock underneath.

Request a pool and we'll deploy it. We run the pool infrastructure; you bring the strategy. If the market you want to run on isn't live yet, reach out via @ascntlabs or ascnt.fi — we'll configure the pool for that market's dynamics and deploy it.
